Principle of NMR Spectroscopy

NMR-Spectroscopy Principle 

NMR spectroscopy involves the absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the radiofrequency region and the principle of NMR spectroscopy revolves around the non- zero value of nuclear spin i.e. I

In the absence of an external magnetic field, these spins are randomly oriented. However, on application of external magnetic field, their spins align in different possible orientations by aligning themselves either in the direction of the external magnetic field or in the direction opposite to the external magnetic field.

            Number of possible orientations = 2I+1

For I= ½ the possible orientations = 2x ½ +1 = 2


These spins are now separated by a fixed energy difference between them which is denoted by ΔE and this difference varies directly with the external applied magnetic field i.e. B0.

                                                                     ΔE  B0      and  ΔE  γ and

where, ΔE = energy difference between different spin states
 B0  = external applied magnetic field
h =  Planck's constant
ν = Precessional Frequency

γ = Gyromagnetic Ratio = magnetic moment /angular momentum

   ΔE = hν this makes, ν = γB0/2π

the interaction of spinning nucleus (smaller magnet) with the applied magnetic field generates a precessional motion in the spinning nucleus having a precessional frequency, ν. When this precessional frequency matches with frequency of sources’s radiowaves, the transition occurs from lower energy sate to higher. That’s why the process is known as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. This absorption is recorded in the form of an NMR spectrum which provides significant information.

Hooke’s Law for IR spectrscopy

Hooke's Law is an equation which help s in interpreting the molecular vibrations  by assuming bonds as spring having masses (atoms) at two ends. When a molecule is exposed to infrared light, the  bonds between atoms can absorb specific frequencies of that light, causing the bonds to stretch ,  compress  or bend , just  like a spring.  This characteristic absorption of light corresponding to certain  specific vibrational frequencies helps in identifying the functional groups in that  molecule and thus adding to  the characterization of molecular structures.  The mathematical expression of Hooke’s law is given as follows: ν  = 1/2π√k/µ ῡ = 1/2πc√k/µ where: ·  ν  = the frequency of vibration ·  ῡ = Wave number (reciprocal of wavelength) ·  k  = the force constant ·  c = Velocity of light ·  Π = Constant ·  μ = reduced mass The reduced mass of the two atoms involved in the bond  is  calc...

Bathochromic and Hypsochromic Shift

  B athochromic shift   -  It is the shift of the   absorption maxima (λ max ) of a substance   towards longer wavelengths . It is   also known as red shift .   Since, Energy (E) is inversely proportional to Wavelength. So, in Bathochromic shift----energy decreases and wavelength increases. In Bathochromic shift, energy decreases and wavelength increases. Factors causing Bathochromic shift: The bathochromic shift is caused by following: A.  Extending Conjugation i.  either by increasing double bonds ii.  or by adding electron donating groups ( like -OH, -NH 2 )   in conjugation to double bonds. B.  Solvent Effects i.  The less polar (non-polar) solvents cause bathochromic shift for n-π* transitions. ii.  The more polar (polar) solvents cause bathochromic shift for π-π* transitions. Example: Benzene shows  π-π* electronic transitions at 255 nm. Adding auxochrome NH 2   to the benzene ring makes it aniline an...

Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

  Atomic Absorption Spectrometry is an absorption spectroscopic technique in which radiation of a particular frequency from a source is absorbed by non-excited neutral gaseous atoms  generated in an atomizer in their ground state. The light is absorbed in the UV-visible region and makes transitions to higher electronic energy levels. The amount  of light absorbed is quantified and this amount of absorption helps in determining the analyte concentration. (It follows Beer's Law) The concentration is measured by drawing a calibration curve  after calibrating instrument with a  standard of known concentration. Factors affecting  the amount of light absorbed Length of path transversed Concentration of absorbing atoms in the vapour state. The diagrammatic representation of Atomic Absorption Spectrometer are shown in the below diagram:  Components Used in Atomic Absorbance Spectrometer: 1. Hollow Cathode Lamp: Acts as source of radiation  It is a sha...
